Zlatko Dedić (born 5 October 1984) is a retired Slovenian footballer who played as a forward. Besides Slovenia, he has played in Italy, Germany, and Austria.[2]

Club career[edit]

Dedić started his football career with Koper.[3] In 2001 he transferred to Parma, which loaned him out to Serie B clubs Empoli in the 2004–05 season and Cremonese in the second half of the 2005–06 season. He made his Serie A debut for Parma on 21 September 2005 against Roma.[4]

Dedić joined Frosinone of Serie B in January 2007, signing a contract until June 2011.[5] In January 2008, he was loaned to Piacenza of Serie B and was given the number 9 shirt from Daniele Cacia, who had left for Fiorentina.[6]

After eight years in Italy, Dedić left Frosinone in July 2009 and signed with German club VfL Bochum on a contract until June 2012.[7] In August 2011 he was loaned for one year to Dynamo Dresden.[8]

International career[edit]

Dedić made his debut for Slovenia on 18 August 2004 in a friendly match against Serbia and Montenegro, coming in as a substitute in the 67th minute.[9] He scored his first goal against Poland on 6 September 2008, in a 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification match. Dedić was later instrumental in the national team's successful qualification to the 2010 FIFA World Cup by scoring the winning goal in the second leg of the play-off match against Russia, which ended 1–0.[10] He has also been part of Slovenia's national youth teams, from the under-17 to under-21 sides.[2]

Personal life[edit]

Dedić was born in Bihać, present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina, and moved to Slovenia at a very young age where he spent his childhood in the village of Podgorje, near Koper, in the Slovenian Littoral.[citation needed]
